Hour one -- The island is skipping through time like the needle on a 45rpm record that has sat under your sister's bed since 1964. In fact, Daniel Faraday explains it all to Shirtless Sawyer in much the same terms; that Benry and his big ship wheel has caused the island to go skimming through time, forward and backward, sending the Lostians into an absolute frenzy.
They face the island with no camp; with no fire; pre-blasted Hatch, post-blasted hatch; Faraday even encounters Des in full-bore button-pushing mode. I half expected to see the island with Pterodactyls flying overhead.
Apparently the phenomenon affects groupings of Lostians in differing ways; Locke, for example, isn't part of the Sawyer/Juliet/Faraday/Rose/Bernard/Redshirt Extra #12 gang, so his trajectories are different as well. He sees, for example, the drug lord plane crash. And encounters a very angry Ethan. He's eventually rescued by Richard and skims off to the future.
Back in the states, however, Jack/Sayid/Hurley/Kate/Sun/Aaron are all grappling with the issue of returning. All being directed by Ben. Who also asserts that Locke must also return. Despite being dead.
Hurley in particular is being dished a huge plate of freaky-deaky, as he and an unconscious Sayid (felled by a tranq dart) are on the lam and stopped by Ana-Lucia. Who tells him that Libby says, Hi. (!!!!!)
Hour two
The beachies are attacked by ---- someone shooting flaming arrows. Goodbye Redshirt #12. Gaaaaah!
The homies have Hurley enlisting his father, at first, to help Sayid. And eventually, they get to Dr Jack.
Sun gets a visit from Kate/Aaron. She's freaking out because there are lawyers on her tail, wanting DNA samples.
Hurley then gets a visit from Ben who underlines the notion that they've all got to return. He agrees, and then flings himself outside and is immediately arrested by the cops (the real ones, as opposed to the Ana-Lucia-style ones) who have been chasing him for some time, owing to some really unfortunate timing of buttinskis with cell phone cameras, coupled with Sayid's need to kill people to keep things moving along. Which may hold a record for my longest run-on sentence in Lost-recap history.
The beachies are ambushed again, and Juliet is about to lose one of her hands when --- whup --- a knife soars out of the dark and kills the villains. Who's the thrower? Why it's Locke, of course, who has skimmed up into time just in the NICK of time....
Back home once more: Ben is speaking to a woman shrouded in shadows who is working out some sort of incredible chalkboard mathematical doohickey from Big Bang Theory. He tells her that he's lost Hurley, but she says it doesn't matter, that he's in deep doo, and has only 70 hrs to return the O6 to Craphole Island.
She turns around and reveals herself to be: MS HAWKING
(((Reminder -- Ms H was the dream-woman who sold Des the engagement ring for Penny, then told him that he must not marry her, he must go to the island or everyone will die. Dun-dun-DUNNNNNN!!!)))
